Problems Printing with Publisher

[Josh V]

I am having major issues with Publisher. I used to Print my business cards
and brochures from Publisher and had great results. Then one day, all of the
sudden, the printing is crooked or askewed. I have tried cleaning my printer
and the rollers...looking to see if there are new updates for my HP Officejet
7410 All-in-One. I then thought maybe it was the printer so I had HP send me
a new printer. Still no luck. I then tried Printing on two other printers
(different Models) and still crooked business cards and brochures.

I have played with the Margins plenty so I know what I am doing there.
Seems to be some issue with Publisher as if it was the Printer then it would
possibly work on the other Printers. It is very frustrating that Publisher
was at one time printing fabulous cards as well as brochures and now I cant
seem to fix the problem. I have even contacted HP and talked with there
"experts" to resolve the Problem. They of course are no help.

Does anyone know if possible updates through Windows XP or Office 2003 could
have cause this problems? Has anyone experienced problems like this before?
There has to be something that can fix this problem or caused this problem as
I have printed before with no problems and now cant seem to figure it out.

Can anyone please help me with this so I cant stop wasting paper and ink?????

This is not a Publisher issue.
Do documents from other programs print okay?

You might try re-installing your driver.
It is always best to uninstall your printer driver before
installing/re-installing a new driver.

Hello, Yes....Every other Program prints out documents photos etc. perfectly
fine. Also, I have tried reinstalling the drivers and software a couple of
times. It is apparent that this IS NOT a printer problem. I have tried also
going to the HP link before a couple of times so that was no help.
Reinstalling and using various printers are what I said does not help....or
work!!! Does anyone else have any suggestions???

The problem is not with the Publisher program. The particular file you are using
maybe corrupt. Images are the usual culprits. Are you printing a file that was
originally setup for a different printer?
Start a fresh publication, see if that helps.

I have tried a couple times before recreating the business cards as well as
the Brochure. That still does not fix the problem. I am also making some
invitations for a wedding currently and they as well are printing just
slightly crooked. I have tried cutting and pasting to different programs and
they seem to print the cards out just fine. Could there be something corrupt
with Publisher? If it is not Publisher that is the problem than I cannot
imagine what it could be. The Printer prints all other files from every
other programs such as Word, Excel, Adobe Photoshop, Paint, Etc. perfect.
Do you have any other ideas what this could be????????????????

I have no idea what is going on with your printing. I opened some really old
files that were setup on a printer that went to printer heaven. I printed one
file using my current printer and it was a mess. I fixed the problem by copying
the file to a new instance of Publisher.

Publisher saves printer information with each file, that is why I wondered if
yours was an old file.

Publisher does not print skewed. I am out of ideas.
